He was good against us in the Super Cup. A bit less so in their first league game.

I like what I've seen of him, definitely a good buy for CSKA, only 3 million or so.
Reassuring, I was afraid he would have a poor start like Jakupovic at Lokomotiv or Mehemdi at Dynamo Kyiv.

I think it helps that he seems to be a similar player to Tosic who he is replacing in the CSKA lineup. Helped him fit in rather quickly.


In other news, sounds like we're closing in on Damiao for 25 million.

Great. I want to see him next year in Brazil. So I hope CSKA (yuck) fares well in the CL and that he gets to start most of the games this season.

And when it comes to Damiao, I say bring it on. Russian League is good and he would still be under the spotlight given CSKA's spot in the CL. Zuber would love to feed this big man with aerian balls.
 
We are extremely close to Honda. I predicted a month ago that Honda would arrive the same week our international players return from vacation--let's see if I'm right.

You guys are getting ripped off imo, I don't think Damiao is worth anywhere near that much.

What's with the cost of strikers this transfer window, it's out of control. Dat FFP.
 
Hearing some rumors about the Bruma situation. It seems that Bruma is upset with his agent and his lawyer about the way things are going. If nothing changes, the decision about the validity of his contract will only be known a couple of days before the ending of the transfer deadline. He feels like he is losing precious time with this situation when he should be training with a team and getting ready for the next season. So he is starting to become more open to the idea of meeting with our president without his agent and his lawyer.
The fact our reserve team did so well in a pre-season cup, beating Benfica and Estoril (last season´s 5th placed team on the league) has put the names of players like Esgaio, João Mario and Iuri Medeiros on the covers of the newspapers while no one seems to care much about Bruma right now, something that must be hurting him a bit.

Like 10 days.

:lol

With 12 total weeks of experience I can assure you that it's too early to be even trying.

Unless you didn't required immobilization, but still you have to be patient and start to move your fingers as slow as possible.

Did your doctor gave you some recovery exercises?

CSKA usually does reasonably well in the CL. They've reached the knockout rounds in their last two CL appearances.

Any reason why Zuber hasn't played for the Swiss national team yet? Does the coach hate him?

Worst part is that she didn't understand the local langauge or english so even if you wanted to be all polite about it and tell her it's wrong she wouldn't understand a fucking thing anyway.

Only for 10 mil too. :)
Spend all that money, Monaco will win anyway.

Ibra -> Madrid
Silva -> Barca
De Rossi, Cavani, Verratti, Marquinhos and Lavezzi -> Leaving next year after the season.

At least we keep Pastore, Digne, and Sakho.

He will start very soon. As far as I remember, Degen moved to Dortmund without having played any game for the national team either. So he will be there for the next fixtures, no doubt.

United's attempt to sign a world class midfielder is laudable but it just won't happen.

There are non world class midfielders out there who would improve our midfield greatly and wouldn't cost us much as Cesc and would be easier to sign.

Didn't Galliani said you won't buy anyone this summer? Or that you couldn't afford to get Honda till January or something? Did Berlusconi shit out more money for the club?

I'm pretty sure we are willing to let Bakaye Traore go for around 20 million euro. Get Moyes on the line.

I agree, we're definitely getting ripped off. Damiao has never impressed me much, plus Hulk has soured me on Brazilians. But we're desperate, we need a striker badly. Plus we've sold 20 million worth of players this window so I guess we can afford it.

BTW, Honda was kinda shit today. His mind is probably already in Milan.

We will get Cabaye and Fellers.

It'll be enough to win the league.

You can buy a top midfielder, you just have to spend top dollar to get them. You don't get top midfielders for £25m unless there's a clause in their contract or it's about to run out next season. United are just going to hope another RVP/Kagawa-esque situation comes along because we're run by a group of people who are known for being tight cunts.
